Appearance

Conductoids have black skin. They have one eye in the middle of their head. They have two antennae and a tail that looks like plugs on the end, which allows them to draw energy to themselves, like how a plug plugs in electricity through the tips. They have four fingers on each hand, with similar plugs on the tip of each finger that help them absorb energy.

Behavior

Conductoids are not social beings. Males of the species are negatively charged, while females are positively charged. If too many male occupy the same area for an extended period of time, the resulting arc could destroy them all. The same holds true for females. Because the consequences of social groups are so potentially devastating, Conductoids tend to be solitary creatures.

Conductoids easily travel through Teslavorr, using minute voltage differences between to propel themselves.

Diet

Conductoids feed on eddies and currents of higher-energy particles near protostars.

Powers and Abilities

Conductoids have the ability to absorb and redirect energy from their antennae, tail, and fingers, even from a distance.

Conductoids can use electrokinesis to jump over long distances, and fire energy toward the ground in order to fly or move with great speeds on a current carrying path.

Etymology

The name "Conductoid" comes from the Latin word "conduct", which means "to serve as a channel or medium for (heat, electricity, sound, etc.). This references their energy absorption and redirecting abilities.

Trivia

Some believe that Conductoids may be crucial to stellar formation, although that theory has yet to be proven.
